Antibodies used for detection of the respective proteins and their relevant dilutions were: pSTAT5 (#9351, Cell Signaling Technology; 1∶1000), STAT5A (L-20, sc-1081, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology; 1∶1000), STAT5B (G-2, sc-1656, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology; 1∶200), STAT5A+B (C-17, sc-835, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology; 1∶1000), pJAK2 (Cell Signaling Technology, #3771; 1∶200), JAK2 (#3230, Cell Signaling Technology; 1∶500), α-tubulin (DM1A, sc-32293, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology; 1∶200), Anti-Rabbit IgG-Peroxidase (SIGMA A0545; 1∶10,000), Anti-Mouse IgG-Peroxidase (SIGMA A8924; 1∶10,000). Apparent molecular weight of detected proteins was as predicted by the antibody manufacturers, i.e. 125 kDa for JAK2, 90 kDa for STAT5 (with STAT5A running slightly slower than STAT5B in SDS-PAGE, as confirmed by the STAT5A+B immunoblots) and 55 kDa for α-tubulin. Chemoluminescence detection was performed using Amersham ECL Prime (RPN2232, GE Healthcare Life Sciences) or SuperSignal West Femto (34095, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for weaker signals, and images were captured on an ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini imaging system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences).

Cells were washed twice with ice-cold phosphate buffer saline, harvested, and resuspended in RIPA Lysis Buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) plus protease inhibitor cocktail (MedChemExpress). Cell lysates were obtained by centrifugation at 12 000 r·min−1 for 10 min at 4 °C. Equal amounts of each sample were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated with the designated antibodies. Antibody-specific labeling was revealed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h and visualized with an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Millipore). Images were captured and analyzed with an ImageQuant Las 4000mini imaging system (GE Healthcare Life Science, Chicago, IL, USA).

E. faecalis cultures were grown for 16 h at 37°C. The spent supernatant was then treated with 5% TCA for 48 h at 4°C. Precipitated proteins were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was then discarded. This step was repeated twice in order to ensure that all TCA was removed prior to solubilization in 6 M urea. TCA-precipitated proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, and Western blotting was performed using a rabbit polyclonal anti-EntV antibody at a concentration of 1:1,000 and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody at a concentration of 1:10,000. The Western blots were processed using Thermo Fisher Scientific SuperSignal West Dura extended-duration substrate and imaged using the GE ImageQuant LAS4000 mini imaging system. To generate anti-EntV serum, full-length protein was recombinantly expressed from strain CEGE1 (15 (link)). Cell lysates were run on an SDS-PAGE gel, and the overexpressed protein was excised and sent to Cocalico Biologicals, Inc., for antibody generation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
